Thanks, Suzanne, but I felt distinctly second class in that gathering. What fun it is to get a look at other photographer's work over a good cup of coffee now and then! You're right in pursuing the wet plate work - lots of room for your images to thrive in that medium. And Ruediger has made me want to do litho printing..., maybe in time for a few to be in my show?

Great seeing you all. More to come, I hope. Enjoy your travels, Ruediger.

Hey, I also enjoyed meeting up with you all. Yes time was flying. The images you shared with me were just gorgeous. What a great experience, now I learned something about wet plate collodion (is this spelled right) and also about photogravures - well, at least I know how these look like and I know two more faces for postcards I received.

So the rain came back after that hail storm. The only thing missing now is snow
